Freedom Fall in Closely Contested Game to Boomers

Posted on by

May 24, 2014 - Frontier League (FL) Florence Freedom (Schaumburg, IL) - The Florence Freedom (4-4) rallied from an early 3-0 deficit but fell short as they lost for the second consecutive night by one run to the Schaumburg Boomers (4-4). This time the final score was 3-2 as both teams tallied six hits but it was the Boomers who managed to push across one more run.

Gregory McDaniel (0-1) made his professional debut and looked sharp through three innings. But in the fourth, the Boomers' bats came alive. With one out, Ben Kline drew a walk and Brian McConkey singled. Denver Chavez singled up the middle to score a run and everyone moved up 90 feet when the throw home sailed to the backstop. With runners on second and third, a wild pitch scored McConkey to make it 2-0 in favor of the Boomers. They added one more run on a Michael Valadez sacrifice fly.

The Freedom bullpen held Schaumburg scoreless from there as Adam Krebs, Edgar Valle and Daniel DeSimone all pitched well.

But Florence's offense couldn't get anything going against Schaumburg starter Danny Jimenez (1-0) until the seventh inning. Sam Eberle started the inning with a single to right. Then Joe Staley extended his hitting streak to eight games with a double to deep left-center field. After Nick Stein lined out, Rob Kelly singled to score Eberle and finally chase Jimenez from the game. Kyle Bluestein followed with a sacrifice fly off of new pitcher Heith Hatfield and it was a 3-2 ballgame.

Florence would put a runner at third with only one out in the ninth but were unable to score as they dropped their fourth straight game. The four losses have been by a combined six runs.

A scary moment in the game occurred in the top of the ninth when Jacob Tanis was hit by a throw from the bullpen in the head as he was standing in the dugout. The game was delayed for 20 minutes as Tanis was attended to. He would later get on a stretcher under his own power and get wheeled off the field.

Florence will look to win the finale of the series Sunday night. First pitch is at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time. All the action can be heard on http://www.allinbroadcasting.com/Florence.html.

Freedom Fall in Closely Contested Game to Boomers

Your Move, Creep

What happens when Detroit cop Alex Murphy is killed by a brutal ganglord in the line of duty? Duhhe gets Six-Million-Dollar-Mand by a controversial mega-company, and transformed into a kick-ass crime-fighting cyborg!

We speak, of course, of director Paul Verhoevens brilliant dystopian sci-fi epic, RoboCop! On the surface, the film seems an ber-violent and vapid popcorn flick, but with subtly inserted jabs at the concepts of fascism, consumerism, media and technology run amok and the Machiavellian nature of mankind, RoboCop actually proves a thoughtful, almost satirical piece of work.

The city of Detroit finds itself in a precarious financial situation (sound familiar?) and allows the so-very-obviously evil Omni Consumer Products to take control of their crippled police force. This doesnt sit well with the boys in blue, but when the experimental RoboCop android/cyborg all but rids the city of crime, it seems the tides of fate may have changed. OR HAVE THEY?! Pensions and salaries are cut to the bone and job performance begins to suffer as RoboCop systematically brings crime to its knees. Adding to the confusion, a hidden directive buried deep within RoboCops programming allows him more sentience than his designers had intended, and he begins to show signs of Murphys consciousness.

Just how much of the man is left inside the cyborg, and will his mortal leanings lead to a violation of the laws of robotics? Equal parts Judge Dredd (the comics, not that awful Stallone movie) and Blade Runner, RoboCop was Verhoevens first major motion picture and, despite a definite cheese factor, maintains an outrageously fun and entertaining pace throughout.

No, there were no Oscars won, but should one be looking for the perfect summer blockbuster at our beloved Jean Cocteau Cinema, one need look no further.

And while were at it, lets all thanks the crew down there for providing us so many great older films to enjoy. Certainly, if Repo Man wasnt exciting enough, RoboCop seals the deal.
